I'm not sure what you are refering to. The Soul of X cycle are all mythics, Zendikar, Shandalar, Phyrexia etc. That is 6. 6 Planeswalkers, that is 12. The new oblivion stone artifact is 13, the Sliver will be 14, the Chain Veil will almost surely be #15.

It is pretty silly in non-standard if you can get it out quickly. People will be brainstorming ways to cheat him out quick in modern to make slivers a better deck.

When they said this new sliver would be more impressive than previous printed chromatic slivers I thought it would actually be more impressive than them and not a pile of poo poo.

Slivers is not remotely viable in modern (and Sliver Legion is significantly better).

Hmmm! Hivelord certainly helps, since the main problem with slivers.dec is someone killing them all with a Wrath effect. This doesn't help with non-destruction-based removal, but there tends to be less of that.

Right into the EDH deck it goes.

I have SliverEDH.dec and am totally going to pick one of these up, I'm just completely let down by the fact that this Sliver was supposed to be a hallmark new and powerful 5 color sliver and it's just a really bland design.

Generator Servant at common makes red's promo much more viable. tap, sac, pay 5 for a 5/5 hasted flier that burns all your opponents little dudes up. Yeah, I might go red this time.

That kind of three-card combo only works when you can reliably flip your entire library, where Dredge is usually trying to win with between 15 and 45 cards in the bin.

Also, in the category of, "I can't believe THAT'S the creature we worked so hard to cheat in," you know Oath of Druids? Banned in Legacy, lives solidly on the second tier of Vintage by giving your opponent spirit tokens to flip a free Emrakul on turn 3? Back when it was a powerhouse in Standard/Extended, the ultra-badass kill-machine creature they used to flip was Morphling.

Basically, over time, creatures have gotten way better and ways to cheat them in have gotten way worse.

When I wanted to run it, Cognivore was the way to go. I don't remember what the decklist was but I'm guessing lots of counters/tutors to stall until the combo was set up.


Seems really solid. Would be even nuttier if it had haste itself, but I also like that it gives you enough mana to potentially trot out two hasty guys at once.

In the pre-release, you choose a color. The color box with six boosters you get has a special booster called a seeded pack, with that colors rare from the video, and more cards aligned to that color you chose.

It's 5 colour, you're getting into Exodia levels of bullshit just putting the colours together and getting the sliver to cast.

In fact, just print sliver Exodia.

Not necessarily. First, not everyone is out to maximize their EV at prereleases. Second, each color's pool of available commons is generally more important than your single bomb rare in terms of making a consistent deck, so even if black has the best promo it may not be the best way to go.

Assemble the 5 5-color legendary slivers to summon a sliver that wins you the game when cast?

Honestly red seems pretty solid with Generator Servant at common. If you can ramp out that dragon instead of waiting for seven lands it's pretty strong.

The best colour honestly depends on the overall strength of that colour's card pool more than the one bomby rare you get. Especially with everyone knowing about that bomby rare and playing around it if they can.

Would allowing the decision to be made after seeing your cards be an obviously bad idea? I guess it would also complicate the logistics of the event.

I don't even care about constructed christmas land, I just really like Generator Servant for draft. A 5-drop on turn 3 could be scary, and if you don't want to use it as a slow ritual immediately, Goblin Piker is perfectly playable.

Its worth mentioning they they messed up the templating for Generator Servant. A strict reading of the card seems to say that it can only be used to haste one creature, but the common-sense reading will be up to two. This might need to be errata'd on day 1.
